Now I'm the first one to gush about how thankful I am to have a job -- a good job -- but as unemployment seems to be the norm these days among my 20-something friends, I daresay it's becoming...glamorous.

Really. Sure, the unemployed Twitterers I follow complain about cover-letter writing and pulling together interview outfits, but they also talk about rolling out of bed at 11 a.m.. Walking around their neighborhood in search of a leisurely lunch. Getting a nice, long workout in at the gym before the after-work crowd rolls in. Jetting off for a long weekend to visit a friend. The list goes on.

And the more jobless there are, the more they can do these fabulous things together.

Like shop all day. (Not sure how that one works out monetarily, but it sounds fun to me.)

And I can't help but wonder whether recent grads -- such as those profiled in a recent New York Times piece -- are being picky about jobs because they like, or at least don't mind, the idea of the unemployed life.

As someone who works a fulltime job and a parttime job, is a fulltime student in two master's programs and is training for a marathon, I can't lie -- it intrigues me.

But, of course, the grass is always greener, and I'd undoubtedly stay on the side with the, um, actual green. Props, though, to those making the best of an unfortunate situation!

Are you unemployed? Are you loving the vacay or antsy to get back in the game?
